You had arthoscopic knee surgery and 10 days later you have extensive bruising from ankle to the high thigh is this normal?

It is not typical to have extensive bruising from the ankle to the high thigh 10 days after arthroscopic knee surgery. While some bruising and swelling are expected after knee surgery, the severity and extent of the bruising you describe is unusual. It is important to follow up with your doctor as soon as possible to have your symptoms evaluated. They will be able to determine if the bruising is normal or if there may be an underlying problem that needs to be addressed.
